Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 52.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.24 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.19 dismissals per match across 81 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.24.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (1st grade 47 · Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 13 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 76 innings at 17.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 1.12 per match at 22.1, economy 3.24, strike rate 40.8.
